well someone chime in with the correct length and ill know... heh

stenseltizm

the speedway shop had a note under the 5/8 thread aluminum rods that each heim added about 1-1/2 inches to the length of the rod. So if you measure from your car and guestimate where your traction bar will mount the radius rod, do you come up with around 23 inches?

That's all I got unless someone that already has them built can measure the actual radus rod.

danz

looks like the rods should be about 16in long. shorter than i thought.

and the bar across looks to be about 38in

edit: heh i thought u ment 3 feet per side aaron! haha

danz

a threaded 16 in rod should be perfect for an ef

the 38in bar for the cross member had about an inch extra on each side. worked out well.

gonna add brackets to use a stock cross member bolt hole and add a bracket for the torque mount

forgot to mention: weirtech ftw

Aw ----. I just bought eight feet of aluminum round bar yesterday and then I find this. :1
Sweet deals and handy parts for sure, thanks for the links guys! I'm sure I'll find some other use for the aluminum roundbar...

^ where'd you get the 2" steel bar from? online or locally?

Damn dude sounds like your well on your way. But unless my brain has gone fuzzy or I have been out from under my car for too long and forget what it looks like, but doesn't the oem crossmember bolt to the unibody horizontally with two bolts each side. That one pictured has large vertical plates.

danz

locally, metal supermarkets, 2" .120 wall DOM i believe


traction bar is done, had atticus go over the welds with a beefy 180amp miller, MUCH better.

added a ---- ton of goodies to the cross member.... i need internet to post some pics.

no camera cable at work heheh

-SKUM-

I want to see the pics!!! I have the weir flanges too, and I want to see how yours turned out. I also Want to see how you set up your radiator.

cut off the old rad supports, dropped the rad in with the inserts over the rads nipples, then tacked them in place.
